Have You Tried Cabledyne Interconnects?


They are offering promotional prices right now. I can find no reviews of their products. Would you recommend taking a chance on them? I'm thinking in particular of some balanced 1-meter interconnects for $205.

"Our Design Philosophy
Cabledyne cables are a synergistic assembly of precision component parts based on our specific engineering and performance testing requirements. Our products reflect many years of in-field use and positive customer feedback. We sell only one cable line, our very best product.

Solid copper flat-wire conductors: Super-refined 6N monocrystal copper has a superior sonic quality compared to silver, gold, palladium, and plated conductors. The monocrystal structure allows unimpeded signal propagation by eliminating grain boundaries. Flat-wire has lower distortion and better high frequency extension than ordinary round wire. We employ only optimally sized single conductors per phase as multiple conductors create time smearing of the audio signal.

Fluoropolymer dielectrics: Hyflon MFA air core tubing with no fillers for the absolute lowest signal dissipation next to a perfect vacuum.

True EMI shield: Our exclusive Inconel cable sheath is a passive shield that prevents damaging noise-induced currents. The durable, non-magnetic metallic sheath also prevents additional signal dissipation loss of plastic cable jackets (PVC and braids).

Select connectors: Sonically screened and design matched plugs and spades by Cardas, Wattgate, Furutech, Heico, Hubbell, and KLS. Termination methods employ machined-crimped contact points (where applicable) and soldering with eutectic formulated solder. Power products are cryogenically treated."

I saw this in another forum regarding Cabledyne. Does anyone know if this is true?

"Cabledyne is one of many cable companies who sell fake Chinese upocc/single crystal wire. The prices are ridiculously low, there is no way that wire could be produced using the OCC process.

Just so everyone knows, OCC process has been licensed to 3 companies worldwide, and if the product info says "single crystal" without mentioning "OCC" or "Ohno Continuous Cast", then it is most likely a fake as the OCC claim is copyrighted internationally.

Neotech has tried to get these fly-by-night Chinese companies shut down with little to no effect.

Even worse, some companies built their reputation using Neotech wire, then switched to the fake Chinese stuff, effectively duping their customers into buying an inferior product while keeping prices high. "
